"There's something I don't understand. If he was behind your mother's murder, why are you still alive?" Daniel suddenly asked after a few moments of silence.
This matter bothered him a little, and he couldn't understand the logic behind it. If they could kill the Patriarch's wife, then they should be able to eliminate her too?

Who had killed her mother?
Who had ordered the cremation of the body?
Who had eliminated the witnesses one by one?
